Great Product

Love the Feisol CM1471 Carbon Monopod . Light as a feather for long hikes with a Canon R7 and 100-500 lens mounted to the Wimberly MH 100 mono gimbal on this Monopod for bird photography. Very well made product for the money.

Excellent Monopod

This is my second Feisol monopod. It’s well made, sturdy, easy to extend and secure, and does not slip or collapse during use. The only downside is it doesn’t collapse as small as some other monopods.

Is there a spike available to screw into the threads of the bottom section? If so, where can I purchase it?
Asked by: Albert
Yes, you can attach a Steel Spike which is available from our dealers or directly from us. You can look for the SKU code FESPST.

Does this item Feisol SP-ST steel spike fit this model version Feisel CM-1471 that you sell? The rubber foot in this picture of the CM-1471 monopod appears to be smaller than what I've seen of this same item CM-1471 on other websites.
Asked by: Creston
Yes, the FEISOL Stainless Steel Spike, B&H # FESPST would be the correct spike for use with the FEISOL CM-1471 Carbon Fiber Rapid Monopod, and is also indicated as the correct option on FEISOL's website.

question

Would this monopod be sturdy and/or comfortable enough to use as a hiking stick? I'm of average weight (170 lbs) and conditioning, but have enough miles on my knees that I like to hike with hiking poles, and use them extensively to heave myself up steps. Current setup of juggling two poles and a camera handheld is rediculous. Would be awesome to use a monopod and quick detach head as a hiking stick with my camera in my cotton carrier, and pop it on and off when I want to take steadier shots, assuming the pole is sturdy enough and the grip with strap is comfortable enough for pushing off of. I realize a monopod may not be meant for that, but it can't be any less durable than my cheapo poles.
Asked by: Christopher B.
Hi Christopher B. While I have no feel for low cost hiking poles, my CM-1471 is built like a tank. It is solid, tight and light. The twist locks work very well and I have experienced no slipping other than a slight bit if I really lean onto it. That really locks it up and takes a bit more than normal strength and care to free it up. Since I don't use mine in hostile climates as I would have years ago (retired archaeologist) I can't say how the carbon fiber or foam grip would hold up in extreme circumstances. On the negative side, I have a medium size hand and find the grip size a bit too large and uncomfortable for me to use on a constant basis such as a hiking pole. Other than that, I find it to be the perfect monopod for me and use it to shoot everything from a small point and shooter up to one of my D size pro cameras. All that said, I would recommend that you order one, test it out in your living room and make your decision. I did.Have a Blessed dayDennis

question

how do you switch from 3/8 to 1/4 male thread ?
Asked by: William A.
I have a tilt head and clamp plate installed, so I cant see the mounting stud now, but I believe there is a 2-sided stud (1/4 and 3/8 ) with a nut in the center. Use a socket to unfasten and then turn the stud around and re--fasten. A box end wrench would probably work too. This is a fairly standard configuration for most monopods and tripods.

question

is there a stand for this? I was searching around for a monopod with feet and discovered a couple of Bento stands which don't fit the Feisol.
Asked by: Anonymous
Tabletop Mini Tripod, Cayer 3 Feet SV3 Alumunium Tripod Stand for Monopods is the one I use with my Feisol 1471.It is very solid and supports about 30Ibs.It also has a solid ball head.I bought mine at Amazon.

question

What is the thread in the foot of this monopod? Would you be able to screw in a conventional 3/8 camera screw/tripod into it?
Asked by: Ben H.
The screw is reversible, so it will fit all size slots.
